One day I wanted to set my R7000 as acess point, so I reset the R7000. But I accidentally pressed the reset button while the router started just one second. Now the R7000 won't boot and everytime when I started the router, it stays at the status which the power led, the internet led, port 1 led are in dim orange light, ports 2, 3, 4 leds are in light orange led. On the other hand, the wifi led and usb port 2 (I haven't connected anything to the router) are in white led. I have tried all solutions metioned online (tftp/30-30-30), all are useless.
***This R7000 router was bought at the time it was introduced to the public.
another thing to check is the power supply. If you have an older device or different device with the same exact voltage and polarity (you can have more amps but not less), try that one.
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I think that my R7000 is bricked and I have tried all the methods even with the nmrpflash and the tftp, it still doesn't unbrick.

These are not simple processes. You have provided too little detail for anyone to begin to guess where things may be going wrong.
You have to get everything right. It may take several attempts. And you have to pay careful attention to the messages that you see as the process happens.
Yes, sorry if I give too less information. As I said, I have followed and tried many methods including the ones suggested above. Nevertheless, I really don't know why my R7000 won't give any response and stay remains the status with Power LED - dim orange Internet - dim orange USB port 2 - dim white (but nothing connected to the port) LAN port 1 - bright orange (LAN cable connected)
LAN port 2, 3, 4 - half orange half white
I tried to communicate to the router by using command and ping -t 192.168.1.1. (I don't know if I could follow instructions for unbricking R7000P for my R7000) https://www.flash2hack.com/?p=393#C3
On this website, it says that the reply should be like "Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=100".
But mine was:
"Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64"
"Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64"
"Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64"
I have tried everything said on this website even the Tftpd64 but nothing responded.

So I set all Volts except 12V, but it still remains at the status which I have described above.
If it wasn't borked before, it probably is now. You can have higher amperage when you replace power supplies, but changing voltages is a good way to fry a device. Like @michaelkenward said, you might have been fine at the 15V as there's bit of power variation/regulation around that 12v range. But the 24v wasn't advisable.
Well, I know it is highly not recommended to give too much power especially exceed too much. So, most of the time I just keep it at 15V. Maybe it is really borked now. However, I still think that my R7000 has bricked at the beginning of my post because no matter I use any methods, it just doesn't boot the firmware and stay in the status I have described above (at least I can't hear any cpu loading sound).
I'll try to unbrick it later again. Will it work if I download and put the correct firmware into my usb and plug it into the usb port on the R7000? As I think that I have really tried all methods to unbrick the R7000, non of the methods work.
